Tomonoura

Tomonoura is an old port town located in Fukuyama City with more than 1000 years of history. For a long time the port has supported the town as a transportation crossroad of various industries, and it still has the same picture today. The night-light and stepped pier of the harbor have been conserved since Edo Period (1603-1867) and they are actually used as they have been. Around the harbor area is the townscape preserved since those times, drawing droves of tourists strolling along the atmospheric streets.
